A default mozconfig is created below. To see the entire list of available configuration options (and an abbreviated description of each one), issue ./configure --help. You should review the entire file and comment or uncomment options as necessary. cat > mozconfig << "EOF" # If you have a multicore machine you can speed up the build by running # several jobs at once, but if you have a single core, delete this line: mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j4" # If you have not installed Yasm, uncomment this option: # ac_add_options --disable-webm # If you have installed DBus-Glib delete this option: ac_add_options --disable-dbus # If you have installed wireless-tools delete this option: ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi # If you have installed libnotify delete this option: ac_add_options --disable-libnotify # Uncomment these if you have installed them: # ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification # ac_add_options --enable-system-hunspell # ac_add_options --enable-system-sqlite # ac_add_options --with-system-libevent # ac_add_options --with-system-libvpx # ac_add_options --with-system-nspr # ac_add_options --with-system-nss mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/xulrunner-build-dir ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --disable-debug-symbols ac_add_options --disable-installer ac_add_options --disable-static ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --disable-updater ac_add_options --enable-application=xulrunner ac_add_options --enable-shared ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi ac_add_options --prefix=/usr ac_add_options --with-pthreads ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg ac_add_options --with-system-png ac_add_options --with-system-zlib EOF Install Xulrunner by issuing the following commands: make -f client.mk This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make -C xulrunner-build-dir install && mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins && rm -rf /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version;/plugins && ln -sv ../mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version; && for library in /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version;/*.so; do ln -sfv $library /usr/lib done ln -sv -f ../xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/bin/run-mozilla.sh \ /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version; ln -sv -f ../xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/bin/xpcshell \ /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version; make -f client.mk ...: Mozilla products are packaged to allow the use of a configuration file which can be used to pass the configuration settings to the configure command. make uses the client.mk file to get initial configuration and setup parameters. ln -sv ../mozilla/plugins ...: Some packages will install browser plugins into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Creating this symlink Xulrunner keeps additional plugins in a common directory. for library in /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version;/*.so; do ln -sfv $library /usr/lib; done: The libraries shipped with this package are installed into /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version; which means they will not be found at runtime. These commands make relative symbolic links to the shared libraries from /usr/lib. Debug versions of some, but not all, of these libraries can also be found in /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/lib. ln -sv -f ../xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/bin/run-mozilla.sh The run-mozilla.sh and xpcshell files have been moved in this version, but the code which installs firefox (when linked to xulrunner) was not updated. These symlinks allow firefox to install.
